1) Have all your ideas well-prepared

I know you may think this is an obvious one, but stick with me for a moment.

Yes, this is obvious, but unfortunately, a lot of people tend to ignore being prepared. They simply think like “oh, I know my son, I know his wife, what else do I need”?

The emotions, the importance of such an event and the guests who will stare at you like a crowd of judges will surely make you regret if you didn’t prepare your speech (if you need a speech fast and you don’t have time to write it yourself, click here to check some great samples of speeches)!

Also, preparing doesn’t necessarily mean to type up the speech, word by word. If you can only gather a bunch of keywords and expand on those, it’s great. However, keep in mind that there are some rules to follow, for instance keeping your guests interested. You wouldn’t be able to do that if your toast exceeds 4-5 minutes, since people have come to party and celebrate, not to listen to long speeches.Read Full Article –>

Does the father of the groom give a speech at the wedding in 2017?

I saw many people searching for an answer to this question. Well, the short answer is not necessarily. This isn’t mandatory, but in most traditions, yes, the groom’s father has to give a speech at his son’s wedding.

Before I show you a simple template for the groom’s father speech, first it’s important that you should know the wedding speech order. You’re probably wondering why this is important. Well, it’s important because your toast will contain references to the people that spoke before you and the ones that will follow. For example, the bride’s father is usually the one to open the wedding toasts ceremony and you will come after that (click here for some speech examples updated for 2017). So you can refer to him in your speech, and you will. So, here’s the order of the wedding speeches:

first one to go is the father of the bride

then the mother of the bride, but this is optional – it’s not included in the traditional weddings

Well, you must be very excited about the bridal ceremony and reception that will be organized for celebrating his son’s union with his new daughter-in-law.

If he asked you to give a father of groom toast, then you’ve come to the right place, because this blog provides some interesting tips and details that you might not be aware about and which are essential to the success of your speech (if you’re just looking for some speech examples, click here).

Here are some tips to help you prepare your father of the groom toast in 2017

The hints that I share with you in this post are things that I’ve learned myself, while I was preparing for my youngest son’s marriage party. Speaking of preparation, it’s excellent that you are thinking ahead to this moment, because most men and even women don’t get ready for this brief greeting.

They are fooled somehow by the shortness of this speech that is given before drinking to the health and happiness of the new couple, that they simply don’t think about this moment in advance. This should be okay for those who are used to offering wedding toasts or, more precisely, for those who attend bridal receptions pretty often.Read Full Article –>

Since I noticed that lots of readers get to this blog by looking for some simple and short father of the groom speech examples, I decided to write a short sample that you might use or adapt for your son’s wedding. I will continue adding speech examples to this category, so make sure you come back again in a few days. This is one of the many simple and short toasts I wrote back then, when my son got married (click here for more examples of speeches for the father of groom). The groom and the bride’s names are David and Barbara, you will replace them with your son’s and his wife’s names.

Family, friends and relatives, I would like to thank you all for joining us on this special event and I hope you’re all as happy and excited as I am. Well, you can’t be as excited as I am, because I waited for this moment since the first day David invited Barbara for dinner. We all loved her from the first minute. She was so happy and joyful and funny and she still is, after 5 years of begin together with David, this means they must get along pretty well 🙂

I remember the day David was born, I wanted to make him an astronaut. Well, that didn’t work and he’s now sales manager. Also, I wanted him to be part of the high school football team, but instead he joined the chess club. So none of these came true, but one of them did, and that is the most important one. I wanted him to marry a nice, funny, smart, beautiful and loving girl, just like his mother (Then turn to your wife and say: “See dear, you were afraid I won’t mention you in the speech”). And today, my wish came true. Barbara, we love you just as much as we love any of our boys. You’re like the daughter we never had.

I remember the day David told us that he’s gonna propose Barbara. Dora (my wife) started to hug and kiss David, he almost got suffocated. She started asking all the questions about how he’s going to do it, when, where and all the other stuff about the proposal. You know how women are when it comes to weddings 🙂

I would also like to thank to Barbara’s parents, Melissa and Frank, for raising such a wonderful girl and also for all the implication in the wedding planning and organizing. I also wanted to thank again to the bridesmaids and groomsmen and the best man for their help, but David already took care of that.

Also, thank you all for coming to the wedding, this means very much for us and the newlyweds.

(Now turn to the bride and groom) In the end, I’d like to wish you a long and happy marriage, have beautiful and smart kids, like we had 🙂 and live the life to the fullest. And not to forget, have fun in the honey moon.

Thank you all for listening and sorry for the boring speech, but you should know that I did my best 🙂

This is just an example of a short wedding speech for the groom’s father. It uses a little humor and also says a few things about the groom’s childhood. Remember, you don’t need to thank too much to the guests and all the others, simply because the groom probably did it and even if people like being thanked, don’t overdo it.

This article deals with the last part (called sometimes “conclusion” or “ending”) of the father of the groom speech. The previous two articles posted on this website were dedicated to the first two portions of this kind of wedding toast: the introduction (called by some people “the opening” of the oration) and the body (the toast’s main section). You can find out more about this standard speech organization (intro, body, conclusion) in the preceding articles published on this website.

Before discussing in more detail the final part of such an oration, I will briefly recapitulate the main ideas that should be covered in the first two important sections of the father of the groom wedding speech. In the first portion, you ought to greet the attendees, welcome them to your son’s wedding and thank them for celebrating there, with you, your family and friends, the union of your son with his lovely partner.

When it comes to wedding toasts, father of the groom speech is one of the most important orations at a wedding reception. Every groom’s father that has to offer a speech at his son’s marriage reception must know that the secret behind the perfect toast is a successful presentation. In this article I will reveal you the most important three tips that enable you to deliver it in the best possible way, just like a professional public speaker.

One of the greatest mistakes that the majority of the wedding speakers do is that they focus only on the content of their toast (in this case – the father of groom speech), underestimating the importance of presentation. Well, the truth is that the presentation is, sometimes, more important than the content of the speech. This is happening mainly because no matter how interesting and brilliant the ideas in your wedding toast are, if you don’t know how to present them to your audience, you won’t impress it. On the other hand, if your speech does not contain extraordinary ideas, but you deliver it in such a way that it seems to be very smart, you will look like an important and interesting person, and your audience will be very pleased.
